STRAY SHOTS

From Our Regular Contributors.
Truth and fidelity are awfully popular
10 theory and profession, but the luck
less wight who would carry out such
principles, broadly and independently,
will some day conclude that too many
don't ventilate their real sentiments.
1t Is curious to see that some use the
same distortion Of features and lugubri-
GUS tones and fearful utterances for the
preparation OF crime, that they do for
real msgnanimity of deed. "Be not de-
ceived," Is maxim not easy of actual
practice In some cases.
Truth and country are higher than
party or even church.
The habit OF putting the best foot
foremost is right and praise worthy. 1t
evinces self-respect and respect for
others. We are treated much as we
treat the balance of mankind; and there

besides our own self.

The true method of teaching may be
rightly termed the Natural Method"
The artificial, stilted and overstrained
are most injurious in effects or conse-
quences.
The canvass now closing has done no
little to arouse dormant mind and ener-

Even windy storms are highly sslutary.

STARVING A JURY.
The Ancient Method of Forcing a
Verdict.

The Ancient Method of Forcing
Verdict.
All the Year Round.
Jurymen are better off in these
times than in the good old days, when
it was the law 10 endeayOr or starve
them into verdict. 1t is bad enough
now to be put to loss of time and
money, with little or inadequate
recompense, without being starved or
fined in the bargain. In the early part
of the reign of Henry VIII Lord Chief
Justice Reed tried an action, when on
circuit, in which the jury were locked
up, but before giving their verdict had
eaten and drank, which they all con-
fessed. This being reported to the
Judge, he fined them each heavily and
took their verdict.
In Hilary Term, sixth, Henry VIII,
the case came up before the full court OF
Queens bench on a joint motion to set
aside the verdict on the ground of in
formaliTy of trial, the jury having eaten
when they should have tasted, and next
remit the fines under the peculiar cir
cumstances of the case. The jury averred
that they had made up their minds in
the case before they ate, and had re-
turned into court with verdict, out
finding the lord chief justice had run
out to see fray" and not knowing
when he might come back, they had re-
freshment. The court confirmed both
the verdict and the fines.
In "Dyer's Reports" ease is reported
of jury who retired to consider their
verdict, and when they came back the
bailiff Informed the judge that some Of
them (which he cOuld not deDOspl had
been feeding while locked up. Both
bailiff and jury were sworn, and the
pockets of the latter we're examined,
when it appeared that they all had about
them "pippins," OF which "sOme of them
confessed they had eaten, and the others
said they had not" All we're severely
reprimanded, and those who had eaten
were fined twelve shillings each, and
those who had not we're fined six shil-
lings each, for that they had them In
their pockets.

MichaelIs' Mistake.

There was considerable excitement on

last night, owing to the fact that a New

attacked and beaten drummer on the
train. 1t seems that the drummer paid
some delicate attention to q young lady
friend on the train, and Michaelis re-
garded him as seducer and felt it was
his duty to protect her, hence the
trouble. 1t is thought that Michaelis ia

young men themselves, she knew well
enough. The tailor went away, the
maiden prepared the thread, tho young
men took their needles and began to
sew. To the one she loved the beauty
gave short needlefuls, but to the other
she did not love she gave long needle
fuls. They sewed and sewed, in eager
haste; at II o'clock the work was not
half done, but at 3 the young man who
had short ncedlefuls had completed his
task, while the other had yet much TO do.
When the tailor returned the con-
queror brought to him the completed
suit, while his rival still sat sewing.
"My children, said the father, Il did
not wish to favor one more than an
other, that was why 1 divided the cloth
into two equal parts, and told you: He
who finishes his task first shall have my
daughter Did you understand me2"
''Father, "replied the two young men,
eve understood you, and accepted the
test; what must be, must"
The tailor had reasoned thus: "He
who finishes first will lie the most skill
full wo: kman. and consequently better
able to support wife" but he never
imagined that his daughter would give
long needlefuls to the man s he did not
wish to marry. Cleverness carried the
day, and the maiden really chose her
own husband. d.-Springfeld Republican.

endea'kred to defend himself against the
infuriated beast, which had never taken
kindly to him, by clutching at him with
his left hand, while with his right he
sought to keep at bay the others by raIs-
inc the whip. He said he could feel the
hot breath of the lion on his cheek, and
dared not madden him by assault lest
he might make o moro furious attack.
All of q sudden a lioness, which had al,
ways been friendly, made bound and

him to the floor in struggle, thus ena::
bling Newell to escape. The marks Of
the Struggle are still conspicuously yisi.

HOUSEHOLD MATTERS.
Good Coffee and Appetizins Biscuit

Good Coffee and AppetizinG Biscuit.
Coffee made by filtration and infusion
gives very little of the extract. The gen
eral cook of the period who advertises
"good plain cooking" generally makes
the coffee when she makes the fire, let
ting it boil and steam as she does her tea.
An excellent rule is: Allow an ounce of
finely ground coffee to each break
fast cupful; put it in a de-bottomed
block tin or iron coffee pot; pour upon
it as many cupfuls of boiling water as is
needed of strong coffee, with the addi-
tion of cup of water, more or less for
wasting; stir it we'll with a wooden
spoon, then put the pot over the fire,
boil quickly, stirring all the time. AS
the bubbles rise take it from the fire,
pour out cupful, hold it high above the
pot, pour it back again; repeat this four
or five times, then strain the coffee
through a piece of muslin, put it in
hot fetal pot and serve Immediately.
Such a cup of coffee, of sparkling amber,
is a delicate stimulant for light break
fast, accompanied by some delicate bis
cult, light and appetizing: Mix two
ounces of butter, two of flour, two OF
cheese, grated, a dash of cayenne and
salt; make it into thin paste, roll out
very thin. then cut in pieces four inches
long and one inch wide; bake q very
light brown and serve as hot as possible,

Cure for CONSUMPTION.

A novel method of treating patients
suffering from phthisis is described in
the Medical Record. 1t was devised by
French physician, DR.. Bergeon, of
LYONS, who has been applying it for two
wears to cases of chronic pulmonary and
throat disease. The results are said to
be remarkable. In acute general
phthisis there has been an arrest of the
proeress of the disease and cure in
tow months. In advanced consumption
marked improvement OF symptoms Is
rapidly secured, night-sweats ceasing
and the cough becoming less ha1-
RAISING. Two hundred cases have been
treated with singular success by DR.. Ber-
rcon in Lyons, where the climate is un-
favorable for consumptives. His method
has been introduced in the hospitals
there and in Paris, and the medical au-
thorities are favorablY impressed with it.
The treatment consists of daily in
iections by enema of medicated gases.
Carbonc acid gas when introduced into
the system by this method IS found to be
harmless and painless. Sulphuretted ny
drogen is mingled with it, the entire
structure of the lungs is permeated by
the medicated gas and remarkable
curative effects arc observed. The car
bonic acid gas is practically inert when
taken up by the veins OF the intestines,
but the sulphurous gas reaches every
particle of diseased tissu; in the lungs
and throat, and is eliminated from the
system in the process of expiration. The
Volume of gas used is very large. At the
outset single litrc is introduced, but
the quantity is rapidly increased to
ten or twelve litrcs for each III, ,ection.
The results of this new system OF
treating consumption are so we'll vou"hcd
for that we commend the subject to the,
critical examination of medical circles
in this country. Consumption is the
chief scourge OF the Atlantic scaboard:
Any departure in therapeutics so radical
as this French method deserves to be
thoroughly investigated and adequately
tested in American hospitals DR.. Bcr-
geon is not sciolist. but G reputable

standing. If his method be as effective
and successful as he asserts, it merits

Producing q Beautiful Flame.

A vessels old sheathing, which has

Der, makes a most beautiful fame OF diff
fercnt colors when burned in an open

away to poor people for fuel. But of
late years it has been used quite extern
sively i'll New Redford and vicinity, be-
ing placed upon other wood or coal, when
the flames present beautiful sight, pro-

Cleaning Silver.

There are several appropriate ways Of
cleaning silver, all good, and 1 give
them that you may take the way you
prefer:
You require small sponge or piece of
flannel, soft chamois skin, clean, dry
duster and silver brush. If you have
70 chamois, keep old, undre Sed kid
gloves for the purpose. Rub all aric!e'
that are badly stained, such as egg
spoons, etc., with salt; it will remove
stains more easily than anything else. The
simple tway, and one of the best, IS to
mix little whitening in a saucer with
water enough to make thick paste, to
this add few drops of household am.
monia. Instead Of the ammonia and
water you may moisten the whitening
with alcohol, or with simple water
whichever you use the process is the
same. Good Housekeeping.
